This is a great simulation of this battle. The tactical play really has a real like feel. The US Marines deservedly were the "Devil Dogs" and the absolute best at this time and to helped save the allies during this War. I highly recommend this game. I also have Coup de Grace 1916 (Verdun) and Devil Dogs 2 Faith and Sacrifice. Semper Fi!

A good teaser of a game, that promises a great experience when combined with another battle pack. (There are 4 others at this writing) By itself, the scenarios are limited as is the force mix you get. A little more chrome or an extra scenario or two that wasn't about berserko marines attacking 1/3 as many German troops, might have been nice.
Good small-scale tactical game. The add-ons bring a lot more as this one is fairly basic with three scenarios (or operations as the game calls 'em). Still really good for a low-cost game.
This is such a great system. I love the formations, activations, and reaction fire. the scenarios mostly have one side mobile and the other static, which makes them good for solo, but not great for two players. If the scenarios were better, I'd rate it higher. Really captures the feel of WWI, and teaches a good deal about period battle. Thinking of homebrewing some point-based army building rules.
